Hampton, the other day, and seemed quite
impressed with one of the larger classes. AT

''rsing" was too much for the visitors, who,

orderly retreat The Indians looked upon
this strange acene with amezement until
they found the cause Of it, and then they
gave themselves up to the enjoyment of the
Joke.
